I still remember the day this recipe was born. I was staring into my fridge, pondering what to do with a lonely container of Greek yogurt and half a cucumber.

Picture this: creamy, tangy tzatziki, but with a delightful savory kick from the Everything Bagel seasoning. It's a flavor explosion in your mouth!
This Everything Bagel Tzatziki is seriously versatile. You can slather it on pita bread, dip your veggies in it, or even use it as a spread for sandwiches.

Even my picky eater kids, actually enjoy it.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Grate the Cucumber: Using a box grater, grate the cucumber. Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This is crucial for preventing a watery tzatziki.
- Combine Yogurt and Cucumber: In a mixing bowl, combine the thick Greek yogurt and the squeezed grated cucumber. Mix well to ensure the cucumber is evenly distributed throughout the yogurt.
- Add Aromatics: Mince the garlic clove and finely chop the fresh dill. Add these to the yogurt-cucumber mixture. If you're using lemon zest, add it now as well.
- Season with Lemon Juice and Everything Bagel Seasoning: Squeeze the juice from half a lemon (about 1-2 tablespoons) into the bowl. Add the everything bagel seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Start with about 1 teaspoon of seasoning, and adjust according to your preference.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. You might want to add a bit more lemon juice, salt, or everything bagel seasoning.
- Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is essential for developing the full flavor profile of the tzatziki.
- Serve: Remove the tzatziki from the refrigerator and give it a final stir. Serve with pita bread, vegetables, or as a condiment with your favorite dishes. Enjoy!
📝 Notes
- For an extra zing, add a pinch of lemon zest.
